Official Releases

Interpreters are the way you play Alan adventures. If you just want to play you should download one interpreter from here. They are usually supporting more features or complementing other Interactive Fiction players, like Gargoyle, than the ones in the complete development packages.

But if you want to develop your own games you should start with a complete sdk here.

AlanIDE, the complete Alan Integrated Development Environment, is an experimental (although still quite useful) application build on top of Eclipse. Here you can download AlanIDE as a complete application for your system. You will need an Alan compiler to actually compile the Alan source into a game and an interpreter to run it. You can find them here.

Developer Releases

Here are the latest snapshot from the Alan development. They are automatically published here after passing numerous automated test, but may include partial functionality, bugs and/or incompatibilities. But if you want to help the Alan development, please try them out and report any problems.
